Day 361: Weddings

(For Friday August 22)

I hear the collective groan from men and women alike, although probably from more men than women.  :) But I was thinking about this tonight as I was working on behind the scenes stuff for my friends' wedding tomorrow.  I'm grateful that I have been invited to participate in so many weddings in so many different ways.  Every wedding is special and unique in its own way. I'm grateful that I have been able to see so many styles and ideas about how that couple, whoever they might be, have been picturing in their mind.  I am not only grateful but I am honored.  To witness the covenant that a dude and a lady enter into.  To watch the groom watch his bride come toward him. Yes, they are a lot of work if you aren't just attending the wedding, and yes I am exhausted (although not more than the ones getting married) and yes, it's going to be special and perfect for each bride and groom.

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
